Microsoft rewards Sasser informants $250,000 | |

Two people who pointed the finger of blame at Sven Jaschan, the 19-year-old author of the Sasser internet worm, are to be rewarded $250,000 by Microsoft for helping the company and law enforcement track down the creator of one of history’s most disruptive viruses. Announcing the decision on Friday, the software colossus refused to identify the duo, but said “certain individuals” will now share the bounty put up by the company, Interpol, the FBI and the US Secret Service. The couple effectively pinpointed Jaschan as the culprit behind Sasser, forcing him last week to confess in a German court to computer sabotage and the illegal alteration of data. Much to the irritation of IT administrators, he received a suspended sentence of 21 months for creating the malicious programme, with no accompanying fine and 30 hours of community service. | ||
